Managing Phase V DECnet networks: the entity model

The digital network architecture (DNA) defines how DECnet networks operate. DNA has evolved over a series of phases, each incorporating technologies. The latest phase of DNA, Phase V, integrates many OSI protocols into DNA. The author surveys the changes to DNA network management in Phase V. In particular, he describes the entity model, which models the management of the network components, and some of the supporting architectures.<
